Lucknow: In a shocking incident, five Dalit women were stripped and paraded naked in Bade Harewa village in Jalalabad in Shahjahanpur district. The incident was in retaliation against the elopement of an upper caste girl with a Dalit youth.
Members of the girl’s family rounded up five women of the boy’s family, including his mother and four aunts, and stripped them naked. The members then took the women around the village hitting and goading them with sticks.
According to the victims, the members of the girl’s family pulled them out of their houses on Saturday and tore off all their clothes. When the women protested, they were beaten up. They took the women in their naked condition around the village and then made them sit in the market place for about half an hour. Finally, some local shopkeepers protested at this behaviour and an FIR was lodged against 15 named persons.
